Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 13,1913.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, HASKELL HARsEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Andalusia, in the county of Covington and State of Alabama, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pullers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to pullers and puller stocks.

One of the principal objects of the invention is to simplify the method heretofore employed in attaching the tool to the stock or handle and which prevents any lateral or longitudinal displacement of the tool.

Further objects of this invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view. Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, l represents the handle or stock which is provided in its rear face with a longitudinal groove 2 communicating with a transverse wedge receiving aperture 3. The tool consists of the shank 4 connected to a curved substantially oval plate 5 by means of the arms 6 which are welded together and mergedinto the shank. When the tool is placed 1n the handle or stock l the arms extend through the passage 3 and the shank lies in the longitudinal channel 2, thereby f preventing lateral movement of the shank and a twisting movement of the, tool. The tool is held in this position by a Wedge 7 which, when driven home, holds the arms down against the lower wall of the opening 3 and the shank in engagement with ythe channel 2.

What is claimed is A device ofthe class described comprising a stock having a longitudinal groove in one side thereof and a transverse aperture extending through the stock and communieating with the groove, a tool having curved cutting blades, a shank substantially parallel therewith, and a connection between the shank and the blade, said tool having its shank seated in the groove of the stock and the connecting portion between the shank and the blade seated in the aperture, and a wedge driven in the aperture for holding the tool against displacement.

In testimony whereof I aiiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

IIASKELL I-IARSEY.
